My Review 

I started this diet in May. I lost 40 pounds by September. The first 3 days I felt a little weak, but after that I had a surprising energy rush. The diet was a no brainer! It was easy to follow and I was not hungry despite the 500 calories. I felt great, and for the first time in many years the weight consistantly fell off my body. I was continuilly rewarded with weight loss on my scale. I have been maintaining on an Atkins type diet and I love the way I look!

I would reccomend this diet program to any one with a thyroid condition or any other problems in losing weight. I now go on my scale regularly and have continued to maintain my weight, unlike on other diets in the past 25 years.
